Like he always does, coach Andy Reid opened his weekly Monday news conference with his usual opus about the positives and negatives of the Chiefs’ most recent game. Reid opening by conceding that the Chiefs, who gained 231 yards in their 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, struggled a bit offensively, which he vowed to fix.
It appears that charge will be led by quarterback Alex Smith, who is expected to start Sunday at Carolina after sitting out the Jaguars game because of two blows to the head in the Chiefs’ 30-14 win over Indianapolis on Oct. 30.
